In 2022 I was asked to pay a £1000 deposit to *view* a flat. I refused but then couldn't find a place to live for four months.

A friend of mine had to do a 15 minute interview about his job, income, previous rental history, etc, in order to *view* a flat. Luckily for him, he has a well-paid job, has lived in England all his life, and an impeccable rental history. I feel bad for people who don't.

I am deeply fascinated by the modern right's insistence that "the elite" is a category that does not actually include the ultra wealthy who dominate society and dictate many of its laws, and is instead made up of socialist teachers, anti-genocide protestors, and "woke" baristas.

After two weeks of demoralising negotiations, the Spanish left fail to reach a unity agreement, with Podemos now running separately in November's elections. Turns out placing your hopes in a politician who does well on Tiktok might not have been wise.

The Spanish electoral left is just a series of projects with some version of "unity" in the name that then refuse or fail to unite.

Hungarian parliament scraps Orbán's anti-LGBTQ measures

LGBTQ and human rights activists warmly welcomed the move, but call for changes to other Orbán-era laws.

The same rightwing media is now trying to paint her as a passive victim who found herself in the middle of a media storm against her will. She was a victim, but she was also an activist. She spoke about the eviction in explicitly political terms and encouraged others to fight.

Of course, the movement and the issue at its heart are far, far bigger than one person. There are thousands of Maricarmens, that's the whole point. But it's only right that we remember her as a person with agency, who stood up for herself and inspired others to do the same.

More Perfect Union
@MorePerfectUSOct 7
HUGE: Spain’s biggest unions have announced a nationwide general strike over housing issues on November 11, just two weeks before a newly called snap election. Rising rents and evictions have taken center stage in the country over the last month, leading to massive protests and a proposed eviction moratorium which was shot down by the conservative elements in Parliament. Now the country's two largest unions, UGT and CCOO, have agreed to strike together for the first time in 14 years, with other unions set to join as well.

Over the past two weeks, the rightwing media desperately tried to run hit pieces on Maricarmen. The worst they could find was things like someone saying she couldn't have been that poor because they would sometimes see her at bingo nights.

Rest in peace, Maricarmen. You will join Jolanta Brzeska in the home of heaven.

Maricarmen est morte. Expulsée de son logement le 23 septembre, elle était depuis hospitalisée pour épuisement. Les spéculateurs immobiliers l’ont tuée. Le logement est un besoin vital. Ce n’est pas une marchandise qui sert les profits de quelques nuisibles.

I wrote for Jacobin on what Spain’s housing protests reveal about where social movements are today compared with 2011 and the 15M/Occupy movements. jacobin.com/2026/10/spain-ho…

Spain’s New Protest Movement Is Putting Class Center Stage

The occupation of Madrid’s Puerta del Sol by housing protesters has brought back memories of the anti-austerity revolt that began in 2011. But where the Indignados used generic populist language,...
